Student captures people’s expressions after being told they’re beautiful. Amazing how a few words of encouragement can make (or break) someone’s day. 18-year-old Shea Glover proves this with a simple but powerful social experiment.
In the video below, the high school student from Chicago went around campus inviting students and faculty to pose for portraits, unaware of her true intention. She tells them ‘I’m taking pictures of things I find beautiful’ and catches all of them off guard. Many broke out into wide smiles and laughs, some became shy, others became skeptical or even got angry – all because of one sentence about perception and beauty. It’s a surprising glimpse at how we perceive ourselves and how a compliment does wonders to the self-esteem of others.

During his fifty-year career Magnum photographer René Burri has built a body of work that traces some of the world’s most historically significant moments from East Germany and the USSR before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, throughout China and Cuba over several decades, and in Vietnam and the Suez Crisis. René Burri was born in Zurich in 1933 and spent his early years studying colour, composition and design at the renowned School of Arts and Crafts in Zurich. Burri’s life changed forever when the well-known photographer Werner Bischof introduced him to the prestigious photography agency Magnum Photos.

Aug 06, 2011 mishka henner: no man's land ‘no man’s land’ by mishka henner (above) M-206, san fernando de henares, spain image © mishka henner ‘no man’s land’ by belgium-born, manchester-based photographer and artist mishka henner is a collection of google street view images that capture what appear to be women soliciting sex in the outskirts of large european cities. exploring ‘the margins of urban and rural environments’, the locations of the google street coordinates have been sourced from the online forums where men share local knowledge on the whereabouts of sex workers. often showing a sole figure in front of a desolate setting, the images provoke a sense of surrealism through the subject’s unnatural presence in the landscape. some are seen to have constructed temporary shelters with a parasol or table, while others are captured to be seemingly emerging out of the woods. raw and exposing, the series provides a voyeuristic look at a discrete and underground practice.
